941. Adulteration  and misbranding of candy.     U.  S.  v.  43   Cartons  of  Candy.
Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.      (F.   D.   C.   No.   2509. 
Sample No. 156-E.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and was in interstate 
commerce at the time of examination, at which time it was found to be adulter- 
ated in that it contained rodent hairs and insect fragments. "It was unlabeled 
and was therefore misbranded because of failure to comply with the labeling 
requirements of the law.
On -August $, 1940, the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Georgia filed a libel against 43 cartons of candy at Valdosta, Ga., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 24, 1940, 
by the Quincy Candy Co. from Quincy, Fla.; and charging that it was adulter- 
ated and misbranded.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of 
a filthy substance.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it was in package form but did not 
bear a label containing the name and place of business of the manufacturer, 
packer, or distributor and an accurate statement of the quantity of the con- 
tents. It was alleged to be misbranded further in that it was fabricated from 
two or more ingredients and did not bear a label stating the common or usual 
name of each of such ingredients ; and in that it contained artificial flavoring and 
artificial coloring and did not bear labeling stating that fact.
On September 12, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion  was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
